Sand Castle Pics...

About two weeks ago I went to Sea Bright beach in Santa Cruz and did what I usually do at the beach -I built a sand castle. I enjoy when people come by and say things like, "wow!" and "cool!" or whatever. It's fun to see little kids who try to help me. Even cooler is when the kids start making their own castle cuz they saw mine.

The worst part about this sand-castling sport (is it a sport?) is people's dogs. They seem to want to pee on my castles whenever they pass by! ! I don't mind the dogs, just the possible pee and the thought that my castle might get destroyed, you know?

Negatives aside, another cool aspect of sand-castling is when people want to take pictures of my castles! A few months back, on a different build, a Japanese lady was being sneaky and took a few pictures. That made me laugh! I thought, "Lady, just ask, it's ok!" Oh well.

This time around two people took pictures, a young lady with an SLR (I didn't ask her name) and a young man named Dan with a digital camera. Since he had a digital camera, I asked him to send me copies and here they are.

Thanks Dan! For now, there are only 3 pictures. Hopefully, the next sand castle I make will be bigger and better. ha ha ha...

Trance Music

Gear asked for a reccomendation of great drawing music. Giggles has also asked for a list, so I finally put one together. I exported a playlist of my top rated iTunes tracks and made a simple table of it. (I don't have a cd-burner Gear, sorry!)

Well, specifically, I enjoy listening to Trance, not just any techno and not just any trance, but quality music, usually with a melody OR wicked cool beats and sound effects. Lyrics and voice play an important part in many of these songs but are not necessarily the focal point.

Here are some mixed albums that you can't go wrong with! Each of these sets comes with two CD's.

A State of Trance 2004 - mixed by Armin Van Buuren
